What does an air purifier do, and how do they work?

If you or someone in your household is suffering from allergies, you may be considering an air purifier. It’s a great option to help you clean the air, reduce bacteria and viruses, get rid of airborne allergens and particles and generally give you better quality air in your home. So, what does an air purifier do?

In the UK, air purifiers are becoming more common in the home. People are realising the benefits they bring in terms of managing things like pet dander, dust mites and volatile organic compounds – all of which can have a negative effect on our health.

Air purifiers may be able to help with common allergies.

What Does An Air Purifier Do For Allergies?


If you’ve been trying to combat allergy issues in your home, someone has probably told you to investigate how an air purifier can help. Let’s start with what an air purifier actually does. It’s designed to trap tiny particles that are in the air in your home, and push cleaner, filtered air back out.

The air in your home contains a wide range of particles. If you have a pet, there will be dander from fur and skin. There will almost certainly be dust mites, and if you live near a busy road, for example, there will also be particles that come from vehicle pollution. 

These are called volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOCs can also get into the air from any painting, decorating or DIY you’re doing, as well as from everyday cleaning products.

So there are a lot of things floating around in the air you breathe every day in your home. Some of these can trigger physical reactions and exacerbate allergies.

So, an air purifier can remove these particles from the air, push out cleaner air and help improve your breathing environment.

Not All Air Purifiers Are The Same

Whether your air purifier will work for allergies depends on what sort of air purifier you buy. To be sure of removing most of the particles from the air, you need to choose a unit that has a HEPA filter. These filters are extremely fine, so can trap smaller particles than general air purifiers.

And it’s worth remembering that there are lots of other things that can trigger an allergy, and that an air purifier may not be the complete solution you need. It will, however, give you cleaner, fresher air, remove much of the particle matter that’s in your air and make for a better home environment. And that, alongside any treatment or medication you have for the allergy problems in your household, should help.

 Air purifiers can help to reduce allergens and improve health.

When Should You Use An Air Purifier?

If you’re concerned about the quality of the air in your home, it’s worth considering an air purifier. It will certainly help to reduce the quantity of unfriendly particles in the air, giving you a fresher, cleaner air environment. You don’t have to use the air purifier all the time – it’s easy to set up a routine. And by investing in a quiet unit, you can use your air purifier without it disrupting your day – or your sleep.
